Ugh.

Does anyone know what happened to the last week and a half?? We went on vacation and I'm physically back, but I think I left a few parts of me there. Including the part that gets anything done during the day.

We spent 4 days poolside in the sun. And I literally did nothing. But sit. And eat. And got in the pool every hour or so to cool off. It was heavenly.

But now that I'm back, I'm still doing nothing. And it's not good.

A few shots of my girls. In the pool. They were in it for 4 days straight.

More sessions coming soon.

Happy Birthday and a vacation!

I'm outta here. For warm weather, swimming (or maybe just laying by the swimming pool), eating, and hopefully a lot of sleeping. I will not be checking my e-mail so if you desperately need to get a hold of me (can't really imagine a scenario where that would be the case, but I guess you never know), you can call me. But I can't promise I'll answer. :) I'll be returning all e-mails next Tuesday.

In the meantime, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this little lady. Sorry we're missing your party.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Coming soon.

Miss Maddie. And her mom and dad.

I spent a semester in college at the BYU Jerusalem Center in Israel. By far the best way to go to school. And a pretty awesome way to learn about the bible. In the actual place where a lot of things happened. When I was there, I had one of the best roomates I could ask for. Her name was Kimi. This is her brother and his family. He can fit about 10 full-sized donuts in his mouth at one time. Impressive. Pretty good looking family (when he doesn't have the donuts in his mouth). And they sing a mean rendition of the "W" song (wuh, wuh, wuh, wuh--yea for Sesame street).

REAL Salt Lake vs. LA Galaxy

BOOM. SAUCE. This was awesome! I got to shoot at the REAL Salt Lake vs. LA Galaxy game last week. A huge thanks to Ray and Neal at Pixels who got me into the game AND let me shoot with a Canon 400mm 2.8 lens. Those lenses are nothing short of sweet. But they weigh as much as a small child and there is a serious learning curve. It's not easy to shoot with a fixed focus lens at a sporting event. Not easy, but oh so much fun! For a second I wanted to buy one, but then decided I'd rather buy a boat. They cost about the same.
Here's some of my favorites from the game.

This guy didn't get the memo that soccer isn't a tackle sport.

The crazy fan section. They brought their own smoke machine. Either that or they lit someone on fire (which wouldn't surprise me). Now those are true fans.

Synchronized soccer. It's out of focus, but it's funny.
